Thornton Colorado Aquatic Center finally approved.
The long awaited joint venture between the Adams 12 school district and the City of Thornton to build the district's new aquatic facility at the Holly Sports complex in Thornton finally received Thornton City Council approval this week. The Holly Sports Complex is located on the Southwest corner of 136th Avenue and Holly Street and will be known as the Thornton Trailwinds Park and Open space. The joint agreement betweent the city and the school district is a first according to city staff members.
The Aquatic Center is scheduled to open in the fall of 2010 and will eventually be attached to the new recreation center the city is also planning for the area. According to the city's agreement with the school district, the pool will be available to city residents up to 40 percent of the time, when not in use by the district. Also, the city is planning a new dog park in the area, which is great news to those of us who love our four legged friends. The overall cost of the new Aquatic Center is projected at $18.8 million dollars.
Finally, the achieve better access to the area, the city recently approved a 2.8 million dollar plan to fund a street widening along 136th Avenue between Cherry and Holly in front of Horizon High School. The current two lane road is slated to become a five lane with a continuous center turn lane. Naturally, in the interests of safety, new traffic signals are planned in front of the high school and for the Aquatic Center entrance.

The Haven at York Street homes real estate 2008 sales analysis
Filing 1, Filing 3, and The Sanctuary
This is
a year end analysis of The Haven at York Street residential home
sales. We looked at active, under contract and sold properties for
2008 in Filing 1, Filing 3 and The Sanctuary. The new homes being built by
Engle Homes are not included in this summary in Filing 4
because Engle Homes continues to build. These are the sold house results
for 2008 for The Haven at York Street. It is important to know two
facts before to analyzing home data: how many days are homes on the market
before they are sold and the sold price of homes. The break down is separated into Filing 1 & 3 and then
The Sanctuary.
How long and what average price?
The Haven at York Street home activity is as follows:
The average days on market for sold properties in Filing 1 & 3 is 85 days
and the average sold price is $331,600. Homes sold in The Sanctuary had an
average days on market of 248 days and an average price of $397,500. What
is interesting in Filing 1 & 3 is that for homes listed through June of 2008
the average days on market was 102 with an average sales price of $336,809 and a price differential from original list price to sold price of 94%. Homes listed after July 1st of 2008 averaged 68 days on the market with an average
sales price of $318,736 and a price differential of 96%.
What does this data mean?
This is valuable home
selling information for home owners interested in listing and selling their
home. It is important to know your area and to remember that The Haven at York
Street Homes will sell quicker and closer to the original listed price when priced properly for the market. The home
sales data support the current trend in The Haven that homes are selling quicker
in the second half of 2008 vs. the first half, but at a lower average
price.
This reinforces the current Denver Metro sales trend of lower
priced homes selling quicker. It is part of a normal, healthy real estate
market recovery. If you are looking to relocate from The Haven, or perhaps
to buy a new home, then it is probably important that your Thornton real estate
professional be aware of the latest home selling information and current
trends in the neighborhood.

While everyone fixates on how the average home price in Denver declined 13% in the last year, we overlook an important tenent of real estate: location, location, location. Every one of the 400+ neighborhoods in metro Denver we track had a slightly different response to the market!
The attached chart shows different neighborhoods in our region. Each region has the neighborhood’s name and the percentage of sales in the last twelve months that were either short sales or bank-owned properties. The second line has the price change in the twelve months from January to December 2008 vs. 2007. Next, you’ll see the average home price in the last twelve months and the average days on market (DOM). There had to be at least twenty sales in the last year for an area to be included. The numbers are more reliable in areas where there were more sales.
